natural remedies for babies
We're preparing for a baby to join our family through adoption and in this waiting stage I'm trying to look at some natural remedies for babies.
I have read through the sticky "your natural medicine cabinet" however, it doesn't distinguish between what's good for adults, older kids, toddlers, & babies, etc.
I have tea tree, lavender, orange EO's and am open to buying more, particularly eucalyptus, oregano, basil, and peppermint. I also know gentian violet is used for thrush. I know Humphries & Hyland for teething. I don't know the best "gripe water". The one's I've seen in the store all have some sort of fructose or sugar in them except one though I haven't looked in a health food store.
What other essential oils or natural remedies are ok for infants, older babies, toddlers, kids, etc. Are there any good books, or websites for more information.
Aura Cacia has a nursery blend for aromatherapy. Does anyone have a recipe that I could blend my own oils for a diffuser? Any good NON-electric diffusers (hubby hates those plug in things) out there good for a nursery?
If there have been other threads about this, please point me in the right direction. I did a quick search and didn't see anything geared specifically to babies so if one exists, I missed it.
Thanks!
